My name... Michele NorrisNPR employee since... October 2002Public radio listener since... I grew up as a prisoner of public radio. I've been listening since I was a kid.My job at NPR is... Host/Special Correspondent. People think the most important thing I do is talk since I spend hours in front of microphone of one kind or another, when, in fact, the single most important thing I do is listen.

I use social media to... tap into conversations and worlds that might otherwise be out of reach.

I've learned the most about radio from... Susan Stamberg. When I arrived at NPR she told me to be myself. Full Stop. End of paragraph. End of story. Be yourself. That is all.

I wanted to be...an electrical engineer ...when I grew up.

Old-school manners are...a breath of Fresh Air.

On Sunday morning, you'll find me... in church with my family.

I can't live without...my children's laughter.

If I could share a coffee with anyone, it would be...the person I was 20 years ago. Boy would I have great advice for her.

Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me that... I have to act my age.
